DRAPER, Utah ( ABC4 ) – When you think about Utah's food staples, fry sauce, funeral potatoes, and even Jell-O may come to mind.

When you open the front door of Sauce Boss Southern Kitchen , your mouth starts to water from the anticipation of decadent mac and cheese, buttery cornbread, crunchy but moist fried chicken, and balanced collard greens. Beyond flavors, these dishes have an even richer history. 'It's food that came from discarded pieces of meat given to slaves in the south, and they had to take it and make it palatable, so they could keep working and stay strong and stay alive,' said Chef Julius Thompson.
